A/N: This was my entry to the Naruto100 'Games' challenge.
Lady Luck
Tsunade needed to borrow some more money. She knew this the minute she walked into Regasu, a large town on the outskirts of the Sand Country. The slot machines whirled by her in a blur as the many lights dazzled her vision. Shizune has a terse look on her face, carrying Tonton in her arms. Tsunade grinned and looked for the nearest gambling institution.
After borrowing a significant amount of money, Tsunade hit the casino. Holding Tonton firmly in her lap with Shizune hovering over her shoulder, she inserted her money into the slot machine, watching as her credits appeared.
"Tsunade-sama… maybe you should only bet the minimum." Shizune said hopefully, pointing to the little button labeled 'Bet One'. Tsunade grinned.
"That's how they make all the money. You have to bet big to win big, Shizune." Her voice was confident, but she was a little nervous, almost, as she pushed the 'Maximum Bet' button and pulled the handle on the side of the machine. Tonton wriggled a little on her lap as the slot machine slowed and finally stopped. Jackpot. Something bad had to be coming her way.
The very next day, Jiraiya showed up at her front door.
